With sadness and regret, I wish to inform you that Elden Phillip Owens passed. He has been a friend and colleage, and will be dearly missed. His strength as a survivor has been inspiring for many, and his dedication to the elimination of sexual abuse was oustanding.

From Victim to Survivor to Thriving to All in Between is a wonderfully planned and executed manual. The insights the author relates regarding abuse is fantastic and most beneficial. Also, the author lists numerous resources for the reader, and dispells many of the myths of sexual abuse.
